Representation of gender

The men in the series are very sexist and seem to think they can sleep with whoever they want. Women are treated like a piece of meat. Men are represented as very masculine especially 'Don'. They are not emotional or sensative, the only one that is like that is one of the male characters who is gay. He is very stereotyped. Some of the women charcters are powerful but they don't seem to have as much power and authority as the men. The men seem to rule everything and be in charge. Men seem to dominate the whole series as alot of the buisness scenes seem to have only men or just one woman. They also seem to make many sexist remarks to women and the women don't say amything. For example in the first episode a new girl enters a lift with 3 men and they seem to laughing and making jokes about one of their collegues getting married and say many domeaning things about women in front of the new girl and she doesnt seem to say anything and they think its acceptable. This shows how little respect men have to the opposite gender.
